Warrior Princess

I know it looks a little weird. It's my first time drawing a sword and my first time drawing blood. Wich would make this my first time drawing a sword with blood on it as well. This is it exactly as I scanned it into the computer. I drew the blood with a fine tipped red sharpie. The pretty clouds in the background are the annoying effect of using my scanner in colored for. It always seems to pick up each and every finger print and it turns the paper yellowish wich is why I usually avoid scanning them in color. I know something about it looks bad but I know all the places I messed up so you don't need to point anything out. I like drawing people from the front more but I need to practice drawing them from all angles too so that's why I do even though it may turn out bad. She's supposed to be running but this is my first time drawing this pose so I'm sorry if it looks a little weird. Please comment.
